Increasing renewable penetration and grid modernization initiatives are having a significant
impact on the operating and fault characteristics of distribution systems. As a result …

Increasing levels of inverter-based distributed energy resources (IBDERs) impact the legacy
overcurrent distribution protection systems. The fault current injections of IBDERs are limited …

For the resiliency of both small and large distribution systems, the concept of microgrids is
arising. The ability for sections of the distribution system to be “self-sufficient” and operate …

This is the final project report for the Grid Modernization Laboratory Consortium (GMLC)
Resilient Distribution System (RDS) Citadels project. The primary goal of this GMLC project …

Constantly changing dynamics of the power generation systems and increasing interest in
power generation from distributed photovoltaic (DPV) systems is challenging for …

Although single-stage grid-tied PV topologies are more efficient, easier to implement and
lower in cost than two-stage ones, they confront problems in limiting high grid-fault currents …

The report summarizes the work and accomplishments of DOE SETO funded project 36533
“Adaptive Protection and Control for High Penetration PV and Grid Resilience”. In order to …

The proper coordination of power system protective devices is essential for maintaining grid
safety and reliability but requires precise knowledge of fault current contributions from …

This report is a summary of a 3-year LDRD project that developed novel methods to detect
faults in the electric power grid dramatically faster than today's protection systems …

This paper presents a detailed review of protection methods for tie lines connected to large-
scale renewable energy sources (RESs). The control methods and fault characteristics of …
